This is a place for any extant garments in private collections from about 1941 back. There is no beginning date. The only rule is that it can't be currently in a museum and must be before the bombing of Pearl Harbor. I mostly post items I've seen on ebay, etsy, or other auction sites so we will continue to have a record of them for research purposes. If you have antique clothing in your collection, please, email me pictures of them and I will gladly add them to this site.

Pink and White Checked Wrapper Dress
From the seller:
A charming 1890’s white and pink checked cotton print dress. The dress is decorated with white eyelet trim. The top of the sleeves are trimmed with a wide ruffled flounce. The bodice is lined with cotton and has a hidden front button closure. The outside fabric hooks to the side. The skirt is unlined. The dress is in very good and clean condition. There is one small hole and age spot under the ruffled collar. Someone added Velcro strips to the outside closure but this can easily be removed and replaced with hooks and eyes. A sweet display dress. Bust 34 Waist 26 Length from shoulder to hem 51.
From Me:
I'd wear this with a big sash around my waist. :-)
